Even if you find a free solution, in order to launch an app to the iOS App Store and/or Google Play store, you must have and pay every year for a developer license for either.

@balanz It’s sad to learn that there’s no obvious support area for the envato paid theme. I’ve never bought anything from envato, so my best guess will be to search for “themeforest cinamatix” then on that theme’s page, you’ll find the “Comments” link on the right hand column of the theme page.
I hope that works out for you. Good luck.
